Those are fair points - and if the tradeoff is worth it to you, then Redux is a great choice for your projects. My argument is that many people have seen it as the default choice for any app - no matter what requirements your app might have. It shouldn’t be.
Full-time web tooling dude making cool concept cars for the web. I work on frameworks, compilers, CLIs and browser APIs. Currently building the world's most advanced Reactive Programming runtime!
This "default choice" problem has actually eaten far too deep than we are taking about it. It's the reason why devs reach for a framework even for as little as a "coming soon" page in the first place. And this poor thinking just makes it look like frameworks are a thing for the less informed.
It's also funny how we only ADMIT the downsides of something after seeing something else. I remember talking every now and then about state management complexity without anyone admitting it. Hopefully soon, we can begin to question the entire idea of much of the frameworks themselves and admit the overkill.
I find it the most-worthwhile thing to push for native platform implementation of the same paradigms on which UI frameworks are based: modularity, reusability, and reactivity. I can as well expect most devs to only later admit to the current state of complexity when browsers finally ship with proposals like OOHTML - .github.com/webqit/oohtml.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Thanks!
